Anyone that can't find the shoulder of a critter with either has serious problems. Bino's is where GREAT glass matters. YMOV's
Oh so true. I agree 100%, and personally am quite happy with my fixed 4x Nikon Monarchs, 4.5x Weaver Grand Slam's or fixed 6x Leupold scopes on the rifles I hunt with the most. They allow me to put the bullet where it needs to go to get clean, humane kills.
That said, the S&B was truly head and shoulders above the Leupold (that I love to death) in terms of clarity and brightness when set at the same power, and I stand by my assertion that you would have to be delusional to not see the difference.
It would be about the same as looking through some high-end Leica binos and saying your Leupold Wind Rivers were "just as good."
They're not......
